Get ready for a one of a kind comedy writing experience where you will get an exclusive peek behind the curtain! Watch as jokes go from random thoughts to full blown bits all the way to stage ready acts. Over the course of the week four comics bring 20 minutes of brand new material to the stage with no safety net just the thrilling gamble of whether it will be a smash hit or crash and burn!
The rules are simple: This contest is for amateurs only—if you’ve ever been paid for your comedy skills, sorry, you’re out! Your material must be original, but it doesn’t have to be traditional standup. As long as it’s funny and all you, we’re good. Contestants will be judged on stage presence, creativity, and how much the audience laughs (or groans).
